Can I Get Some Help Please?

The rights to the photo do not belong to me.

Why is it that I always feel like I'm doing things with no help?  It's almost insane to me.  When it came down to me looking for a place to shadow a physician.  Who was there to help me?  Absolutely no one.  I was by myself flipping through a phone book calling any physician's office that would listen to me.  Let's skip to this most recent occasion.  I've been looking for a place to do my practicum experience so that I can complete my masters program.  Well, once again I find myself figuring things out on my own. 

For the first experience my advisor gets a pass.  I didn't seek help from her but I looked to other sources that didn't turn out to be fruitful.  But this time I've been actively calling and emailing my advisor, yet [they who shall remain nameless] haven't called me back or responded to my email.  This part of my program is very important, as it is required for me to graduate, and I must graduate so I can move on the part I've been working for my entire academic career.  So WTFreak, Johnny? 

It's so frustrating to feel like when I ask for some assistance people can't do anything but look around.  Especially when the stuff I am asking about is important.  Ughhhh.  At the end these experiences I feel like God is building me up for something.  Probably trying to break several bad habits that I've developed over the years.  But man oh man while they are happening I just don't understand LOL. 

On a brighter note I was reassigned to my preferred site for medical school.  So I am extremely happy about that.  This also reminds me that things will work out...SOMEHOW O_o...and be okay.  But like I said, it's during the journey that things get rough and you just have to persevere.  I just wish my advisor would contact me back so I can move on with my life.

Advice for Today:
Stay prayerful and be encouraged by the Word of God. 

This definitely takes some work and I too, am working on this.  I hope you like that picture up top.  I thought it was pretty funny.

Restock

I had to go out and purchase the Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose (AHR) and some Jojoba Oil. I love the AHR conditioner mixed with honey and oils. I really makes my hair superrrrr soft. This is my first time buying the Jojoba oil, which the bottle says it's 100% pure. I've seen some women with fabulous hair use it so I'm excited to see how it works in my hair.

Glee Episode=Powerful

So I was watching the most recent episode of Glee and I must say they BROUGHT it.  I was weeping and crying so much.  I won't spoil the entire episode for anyone but I will say bullying is a serious issue. Clearly some people don't recognize the damage they are doing to others when they make jokes, laugh, and exclude them.  If you are a fan of Glee then you know they've addressed some of the issues gay teens’ experience, which includes bullying and intolerance.  Well in this episode they showed an extreme consequence of bullying...a kid attempted suicide.  Now I wasn't crying because I used to be a bully, although I may have partaken in some practices when I was younger (laughing and mocking contributes to the problem too), but I was crying because people actually feel so bad and alone that they want to end their life.  It makes me think of my nieces and nephews.  I wouldn't want them to feel this way or contribute to someone else feeling this way.  Sometimes kids really aren't thinking they just do.  It isn't until they get older that they see the wrong in their actions. 

My nephew is 12 years old and I believe he is at an age when children really get into issues like peer pressure, depression, etc.  I want him to know that he can talk to my siblings and me about anything.  Furthermore, I want him to recognize the strength in him.  He doesn't need validation from anyone else, and as such, he doesn't need to succumb to peer pressure.  Last, I want him to understand that bullying at any level does hurt and that he should stand up to those that think it is the cool thing to do.  He should befriend people that are different not exclude them because they are different.  My wanting to talk with him doesn't mean that he isn't already aware of any of these things nor does it mean I think he'll be perfect. But I'm acknowledging the severity of this issue.  Suicide amongst young people is real and becoming more prevalent issue in our society.  Therefore, I can't sit by and wait for events to happen.  We need to have a conversation.

Yesterday, February 17, 2012, was my 1 year transitioning anniversary! Yay me!!! In celebration I did another BC. But this time I cut all the relaxed ends off except for the front. I lefty front longer so I can disguise my hair if need be. So here are some photos. Here's a year's worth of growth. (I think I cut a little too much in some parts option Lmbo but oh we'll).
